TANNA (Aramaic, " teacher ")

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 399 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TANNA (Aramaic, " teacher ") . The .root teni or Lena corresponds philologically to the Hebrew shana, from which comes the word Mishnah (see MIDRASH and
TALMUD
 ), the
great
  Rabbinic code which (with certain parts of the Midrash and other Rabbinic books) was the
main
  literary product of the activity of the tannaim (plural of
tanna
 ). The
term
 
tanna
  is used in the
Talmud
  of those teachers who flourished in the first two centuries of the
Christian
  era. The tannaim from the date of the destruction of the Temple may be grouped: (1) 70-100, representative name Johanan ben Zaqqai (q.v.); (2) 100-130, representative name Aqiba (q.v.); (3) 130-160, representative name Judah the Prince, compiler of the Mishnah. The successors of the tannaim were called 'amoraim (see 'AMORA).
See W. Bacher, Die Agada der Tannaiten. An alphabetical
list
  of tannaim and 'amoraim is given in the Jewish Encyclopedia, xii. 49-54 (I. A.)
